COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTIONBrewed with Dutch process Cocoa and dry-hopped with 5 lbs of peppermint leaves this porter is sure to impress. While the peppermint leaves lend a light spicy bitterness the dutch process cocoa adds hints of velvety chocolate. The perfect balance of mint, chocolate, and beer.

Growler shared at Dmacís. Pours a moderate cola-brown color with a small white head. Aroma is of lots of mint extract, some light chocolate, mild sweetness and a little bit of roast. Taste is like a liquid thin mint cookie, chocolate, a solid dose of mint extract, light sweetness, mild roast and a touch of bitterness. Body is a little thinner than Iíd like it, but this was pretty solid.

Tap @ Steakout Saloon in Fort Collins. I swear they advertised this as "Chocolate Mint Stout" at the bar, but maybe Iím mistaken (or maybe they were). Pours a deep black appearance with a moderately sized, creamy brown head. Aroma has a fair amount of mint, chocolate, roasted malts, and a touch of vanilla. The flavor tastes like a Thin Mint, though the mint seemed to be a bit overboard in my opinion. There was a fairly herbal, bitter bite on the finish that I also didnít particularly care for. Overall, it wasnít a hard beer to drink and certainly a strong offering for Fort Collins Brewery.

Pours a rich, dark chocolate brown with a fairly thick light tan head. Roast malty porter has a decided overtone of mint and more than a hint of chocolate, demanding a taste. Flavor has a core of roast malt and strong mint, semi-sweet chocolate, and woody hop notes. Hop bitterness and chocolaty/mint sweetness balance each other quite well, though the latter seems a little stronger. Velvety smooth texture has some good fizz and leaves a chocolate mint and hoppy finish. Choc up another win to Fort Collins - I mint to say that.
